Note di degustazione
Deep red-ruby. Musky aromas of dark raspberry, chocolate and underbrush, along with an exotic floral quality. Large-scaled, concentrated and round, with impressive volume. Slightly roasted flavors of currant, chocolate, tobacco and underbrush. Finishes with substantial fine tannins and a sense of solidity. This should offer early appeal.

Bright crimson, quite deep. Very rich, intense exceptionally concentrated nose – cheese to the chalk of 2001! Something more of the undergrowth than usual about it on the nose. Bright fruit hits the front palate and then there’s a lovely spread across it. Very rich but with more freshness than many 2003 burgs. Slightly dry notes on the finish though. Very flattering and lively. Not desperately long. Many other tasters were beguiled by this particular wine, especially in comparison to the much more backward Grands-Echezéaux, but UK importer Adam Brett-Smith, who has tasted these wines four times now, claims that usually 2003 Grands-Échezeaux tastes streets ahead of the Échezeaux.

Unquestionably the finest Echezeaux I have encountered from this famed estate, the 2003 explodes from the glass with candied raspberries, violet, and red cherries. Stunningly marrying elegance with richness and density, this medium to full-bodied wine is ample, pure, and velvety-textured. Loads of sweet red fruits are found in its persistent, sensual character. Drink it over the next 12-14 years. Importer: Wilson-Daniels, St. Helena, CA; tel. (707) 963-9661
